In Vol. 31, issue #9 I asked for help because I had no sound. Thanks to
rheryerdahl for steering me to www.ubuntumini.com even though his
solution did not work for me at the time. I was using Hardy Heron at
the time. I have since switched back to factory install and just
recently decided to try the Linux Desktop version again, installing
Intrepid Ibex.
I went to the Intrepid page and then to the user guide where the
instructions for making the sound work was located. In the terminal I did:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
then I added to the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell
I rebooted and then went to the volume control and turned the speaker
volume up to maximum. I now have sound. The one thing I didn't do the
first time was to adjust the speaker volume.
Thanks everybody, this is one more reason to the hundreds I already have
that make me very glad I switched to Ubuntu, a great community.
